Have your say on future of the borough

by news reporter

The borough’s residents are being invited to help shape the council’s plans for the next 15 years.

Scarborough Council is producing a new corporate plan to take it through to 2030.

A spokesman for the authority said: “The corporate plan is the Council’s key strategic planning document, which articulates the council’s overall aims and ambitions, and also serves to be a focus for setting key targets for the council.

“The council’s current plan was produced in 2011, and covered the period 2011-2016.

“A new plan is therefore required to cover the period 2016 onwards.

“It is proposed that the revised Corporate Plan contains 4 key aims to reflect key priorities of residents and stakeholders as defined through the wide range of consultation which has been undertaken.

“People – to have a safe, happy, healthy population with people who feel valued and included

“Place - to protect and improve our environment, now and for the future

“Prosperity – to develop a prosperous and innovative Borough, with a highly skilled and aspirational workforce

“Council – to be an efficient and effective council which is financially sustainable for the future.

“Targets against each of the aims will be set out in the Council’s Annual Report and Improvement Plan (ARIP) which will be monitored and reported to cabinet on a quarterly basis through the council’s Performance Management Framework.”
